N.d., circa 1880. In size comparable to 8vo. 23 by 18 cm. With a brass clasp, with a floral decorative motif incised onto both the top and base piece. The front, the side with the clasp, has flowing corner decoration in relief, the design suggestive of a fleur-de-lys without being literally one, and gilt and blindstamped ruled lines around the border. When open, there are three panels, all about the size of the outer boards, as well as the closing flap piece, and the opposing end board which is covered with a plain paper. All three of the panels are lined with a white textured paper, and they have red trim along some of their edges. The first flap, on the inside of the back cover, is for implements, with a red cloth to house the items. We have three of the implements, which we assume are original, as they are obviously have significant age to them. These are a bone letter opener or page turner, a leaf shaped knife with a bone handle, and a wooden straight edge, or so we assume it to be. There are also two outer flaps with rounded edges which partially conceal the implements and the rest. Their cloth anchors are attached to a band which one can lift to place and hold underneath loose papers and the like. The adjacent panel is a small accordian or expanding file organizer with three compartments, and these each have printed gilt labels, which designate them for Notes and letters: Lettres a Repondre, Lettres Repondues, and Notes Diverses. The third panel, what we are calling the photo album, has four stiff card leaves that can be lifted, and these have seven windows for one to house photographs, the top card, a single photo, which fits into a window with rounded edges resembling say a cut stone, and the remainder, smaller windows, two per card, oblong rectangles. There are at present no photos in this album. Below the photo album there is a draft of love letter dated 11 3 89, meaning 1889, written in Italian in a neat hand by Neeno or Neero, as well as a dried preserved shoot of leaves. Finally, the flip side of the photo album is a green felt surface bordered by a crimson morocco, but one flatter than the morocco used for the exterior. This is meant to suggest a desk writing surface or blotter. The clasp came with a key, which we do not have. Scattered soiling and wear. Structurally sound, and very attractive as is.

Condiciones de env�o

The shipping cost provided automatically by ABE assumes that the item is the size of an average hardcover book. Since our stock is comprised largely of material which is bigger and heavier, we will often need to request additional shipping charges as a result. We pride ourselves on always packing safely, with the actual materials and method of packing depending on the item(s), where it is going, and with whom we are shipping. We most frequently use the post office, but on some high value items, or upon request, we may use alternatively UPS or FedEx. With the postal service, to domestic destinations with lower value items and the automatically furnished ABE shipping quote, we will usually use Media Mail; on higher value items we are partial to Priority or Express Mail. We will always seek to comply with a customer's wishes if they are communicated to us. When we seek additional shipping charges, we pass along those charges at our cost -- we do not add for handling or materials generally.
